1 Corinthians 15:35–44

³⁵But ^asomeone will say, “How are ^bthe dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?”

^36aYou fool! That which you ^bsow does not come to life unless it dies;

³⁷and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of ¹something else.

³⁸But God gives it a body just as He wished, and ^ato each of the seeds a body of its own.

³⁹All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish.

⁴⁰There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.

⁴¹There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

^42aSo also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown ^1ba perishable body, it is raised ^2can imperishable body;

⁴³it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in ^aglory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

⁴⁴it is sown a ^anatural body, it is raised a ^bspiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
